77w ago - Following up on his previous release, today PlayStation 3 homebrew developers exofreak and Nathan_r32_69 (aka Evilnat) have made available PluginX which is a multifunctional PS3 XMB Mods application with details below.

Internet TV: TV channels plugin which installs over 30 free for all popular web tv apps including bbc itv, youtube, abc video, all into the xmb for ease of access. All the apps you Sony's incorporated adobe flash plugin for fast access.

Stealth XMB: Removes (*Install Package Files and app_home) option to make the PS3 look like an OFW system. They can be applied back with the same app.

Coldboot installer: This will install any coldboot present in the base of your USB drive.

This app simultaneously installs all the afore mentioned plugins, in a simple fashion. So you can change your gameboot, add Internet TV, and apply the Facebook all without ever rebooting the PS3!

Notes:

Dont load the in game XMB while running the app or you will have to hard reset. You can quit via the start button.

While in the app, every option requires a dual button press to apply, for safety reasons.
The Game Data is disguised as the data of Prototype 2, to minutely reduce ban risk for online users.

Credits:

The app was compiled and packaged by the popular developer Nathan_r32_69. He made this app wit an amazing and simple interface for everyone to understand. Thank Nathan, cause he is awesome!

The plugins were created by me (Ahmed Khail aka exofreak) and released individually on the network. I also formated the app and recompiled it for a few options.

Following up on his previous release, today PlayStation 3 developer exofreak is back with a multiMAN Integrated XMB which allows users to download, install and launch multiMAN and its tools from the PlayStation 3 XMB menu.

The is my first officially released mm theme. Although i have been making themes for a while, this is the first one i am releasing.

Introduction:

Beyond Two Souls is a really well crafted game. I believe it stands among many other great games released this year. This theme is in honour of the brilliant masterpiece that is Beyond. Enjoy.

Ingredients:

I changed all the backgrounds, Used official icons instead of default ones, the theme audio is the main theme of beyond two souls. Its in multimans proprietary .thm format so its very easy to install and remove later instead of .pkg format which is permanent. I didn't do anything with the xmb icon because i dident feel it necessary. The backgrounds are full 1080p.

Installation:

Double click the file in mmOS.

Done

Launch Game Backups Directly from XMB! (No Manager/Last Game Required) by Exofreak

Update: You can now do everthing that i initially attempted without going through all the hassle

Then install this plugin into prx loader (deanbg.com/webftp_server.sprx)

Thats it. Everything will be automatically be done for you. Disregard the rest below, its for dev's

Thank deank.

I made some XML Mods for the people willing to test them out. Basically I replaced the IP with a local proxy (thanks to deank). Now Games can be mounted onto the XMB directly from the PS3 and on any PS3

I have made xml for only 4 games yet. The best part is that it isn't necessary for you to have all 4 xml enabled as i made each separate so if you only need gta5 you can remove the rest. First thing you need to do is rename your game backup folders
rename your game backups to:

GTA5

AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag

The Last Of Us

All the above games must be on the internal hdd and in the GAMES folder (sorry GAMEZ is not supported yet)

Assassins Creed III MUST BE ON USB001

Sorry if its inconvenient but hey at least it works. Second use multiMAN to install what ever necessary game xml you need so if you need gta5 open the gta 5 folder from the downloaded link and double x the zip file. Then open the main install folder in the rar and double x both of the zip files. That's pretty much it.

You will need the latest version of prx loader and you must have this (deanbg.com/webftp_server.sprx) new prx (v1.05) by my buddy deank installed.

With the help of the prxloader and the webbrowser plugin, you can now mount games directly from any web browser.
So if you modify the ps3 web browser to have shortcuts of the web browser, and each shortcut redirects you to the mount location of any selected game.

Don't get it? than check out this video demo i made above.

Advantages

Very fast compared to other methods (It takes only 3 seconds as opposed to 32 sec with multiman and 19 sec with lastGAME

Efficient requires almost 0 mb and has very basic xml structure

No ban risk, there is zero ban risk. You can mount games with psn logged in with ease.

Looks more natural on the xmb

JUST THE WEB BROWSER! each time you select a game it uses only the default browser

Disadvantages

Requires basic xml knowledge. The end user to make his own xml structure with his own ip and folder structure.

Requires multiman to be installed

The biggest problem is than since everyone has a diffrent unique ip, there is no way i can make a defult one that works with everyones ps3

Following up on his previous release and plugin, today PlayStation 3 developer exofreak made available an XML modification to permanently remove the annoying Singstar Icon from PS3 UK consoles complete with a video demo below followed by a SingStar Icon Remover by PS3Maxe as well.

To quote: Do you have that irritating singstar game on your xmb? Do you want to have a clean xmb with only the things you need present? It will remove singstar and also stop it from appearing

Well now with a simple package installation you can kiss the singstar logo goodbye!

Things needed:

MultiMAN over 4.XX.

Any PS3 with custom firmware 4.XX. (Theoretically it should work on rebug but i didn't try it)

A potato with more than 256 MB ram.

Tutorial:

Copy, FTP or download the file named "PS3~dev_hdd0~tmp~explore~xil2~game.zip"
Use multiman and double click on the zip and it will auto install and remove Singstar possibly forever

Video showing the removal:

Notes:

If this doesn't work delete the folder dev_hdd0/tmp/explore/xil2/game/gb and reapply through multiman.

The file can be downloaded directly into the ps3 via the official web browser and it can be saved to the ext hdd and applied via multiman.

You can bring singstar back by deleting dev_hdd0/tmp/explore/xil2/game/gb folder.

I don't know what all the fuss was about it took me around an hour to figure it out.

I didn't try it on rebug but it should work.

Please tell me if it doesn't work because i think different ps3s have different number folder.

Update: SingStar Auto-Remover (PoC) by PS3Maxe

Hi community.

1. Sorry for my bad English. I am a German guy.

2. I am not a professional developer. It's just my hobby

3. I have my own little webMAN-Mod and use it actually private only. Now i could figured it out to create a "SingStar Icon Auto-Remover" through my own webMAN-MOD - BTW many thanks to the original author of webMAN deank -

Same here, the "de" is depending on your country. Very cool for all who are annoying about this damn SingStar icon. Its just a POC and must be tested for other countries. But for me it works like a charm. There is nothing earth-shattering but i thought maybe it's helpful for the scene... so have fun.

Credits to all who inspired me (and make her stuff public for other devs) and made it possible for me. You are all incredible keep the scene alive.

One more idea: With my mod i can switch easily between webMAN "full and webMAN "lite" versions. I put both versions on my hdd and switch through button combo. For example:

This is nice, but its not quite right. Is it possible to re-integrate the proper gameboot from pre 3.00, so we get proper fade in + audio for the gameboot? This is a step in the right direction though.
